As a photographer and gardener, yellow is one of my favourite colours and one colour I am attracted to in all situations, except in the choice of clothing ( turns my complexion sallow!! )..
Sharing a few of my favorite shots!
There is nothing like the crackle of an outdoor fire..
More from dew after a rain on my garden lilies to the nodding heads of ripe sunflowers…
Yellow can add much yard design..
Abit of history I found…
- Yellow, in the form of yellow ochre pigment made from clay, was one of the first colors used in historic times e.g. often used in wall paintings in Ancient Roman villas and towns. Van Gogh was one of the first artists to use commercially-manufactured paints, rather than paints he made himself. He used the traditional yellow ochre, but also chrome yellow, first made in 1809, and cadmium yellow, first made in 1820.
- Process yellow (also known as pigment yellow, printer's yellow or canary yellow) is one of the three colors typically used as subtractive primary colors, along with magenta and cyan. Painters traditionally regard the complement of yellow as the colour indigo or blue-violet and evident in this cheerful arrangement of pansies
- Yellow is the most visible color, and is particularly attractive to birds and insects.
- Autumn leaves, yellow flowers, bananas, oranges and other yellow fruit all contain carotenoids, yellow and red organic pigments. Carotenoids are common in many living things; they give the characteristic color to carrots, corn, daffodils, rutabagas, buttercups, and bananas.
